Mafiabob Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 There are some right nutjobs on Twitter, I just ignore them. All they want is a bite to prove what arrogant, empty headed keyboard warriors they are. Not worth the aggro and the indegestion. I can concur regarding nutjobs on twitter.... But that will be another story I will share in the pointy room at some point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaftesbury Street Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I hate the word ''banter'' - it really grates me. As for what he said, well yeah, he is correct. Football causes extreme emotions in every strong supporter but I guess it's how you deal with it. Me, personally, I do get irate and frustrated when we lose because they shouldn't be doing such **** things and losing to **** teams. However, all it usually takes is a night out and some greasy food to put me back on track, If you type #DCFC into twitter now, I would care to bet it's Derby and Forest fans talking about attendances, ticket allocations and who has the better team. It's the same tiresome, uneducated, responses every time. Football fans, by and large, are stupid ******* idiots. The bigger the fanbase, the larger number of idiots. And, as said, these are often people that don't even go to the games. Can't stand it, the same goes for "Lads" i find cringe-worthy, something a 14 year old boy would say.

Smalley Ram Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think what Jason has written is bang on. Banter should be a bit of knock about fun - it really is only a game (even if it is one we love so much). I think the problem is more with sausageter and social media than specifically being just about football. We've all read and heard about cyber bullying, well for me it's the same thing - mindless cowards hiding behind the anonymity that social media offers and being vile with free abandon. Not nice, not big and definitely not clever - and that's just the ****** posting the hateful comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BondJovi Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 A while back, in the days of myspace, the band I was in had somehow acquired two Scottish female fans from the remote north! We chatted a fair bit and a cousin of one of them started chatting to us online. Anyway, one day this cousin started an msn chat with me, threatened to come and beat me up, saying he knew where I lived and would be waiting for me when I came home from school, he even me sent a picture of the bottom of the lane where I got off the bus!! Now I knew he was up in Scotland and had no reason to fear but I did not fecking like it one bit. I blocked and deleted him straight off. It freaked me out for a while. But that is the thing, it is so easy to threaten, to be a cock, to generally upset people online. I just don't see why people think they can be nasty under the guise of banter. It is an excuse to be a **** and I am sick of it. Bring back witty humour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Just put #dcfc -#nffc in twitter search and it cuts out all the Forest tweets. So you miss lots of the abusive tweets from other side of the Trent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Derby fans look like Kieron Lee, Forest fans look like Frannie Lee. Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Derby fans look like Kieron Lee, Forest fans look like Frannie Lee. Fact. I'm not going to compare any other East Midlands fans with Rustie Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I read something the other day like 'twitter has made me like people I don't know - and facebook has made me hate people I do' which just about sums it up tbh. I did have someone threaten to come round to my house once - he posted a lot of stuff about me, personal details etc (not on here I hasten to add), I just told him to tell me when he was coming, I'd bake a cake. I have my facebook on private and have only just 'unlocked' my twitter, it was a long time ago now - there are some reet ***** in this world. Really? Blimey. Who would have thought....
